Former Rep. Allen West offered up some harsh words for Florida Atlantic University students on Wednesday.

The comments Wednesday morning were so harsh that one FAU student plans to file a formal complaint, WPBF 25 News' Erin Guy reported.

The 161-word message on Facebook accused FAU students of stalking his wife, Angela, who is also a board member, adding that if there's another incident, "you will face me, the side of me that you do not want to see."

West wasn't specific in his accusations, so it's not clear what the students are alleged to have done.

A shorter, but equally direct message went out on West's Twitter account around the same time Wednesday morning, a screengrab of which you can see above this story.

"If you believe you can intimidate her, u are mistaken," he wrote.

Stephanie Rosendorf, the President of the College Democrats at FAU, is filing a complaint against the former Congressman with the FAU campus police, as well as the Boca Raton Police Department.

"To see Allen West actually threatening students at FAU not just students, anyone at FAU who has tried to contact his wife, is just scary," said Rosendorf. "Especially in light of the events that have taken place over the past couple of days."

A spokesperson from the West camp offered no additional comment, saying only that the social media posts speak for themselves.
